What Is Physical Therapy?
Living with constant pain can be exhausting, both physically and mentally. Physical therapy is a treatment approach focused on improving movement, relieving pain, and restoring physical function. While Metro Spine Pain Centers does not offer physical therapy services directly, we work closely with patients to ensure a seamless coordination of services. This includes partnering with highly skilled physical therapists who specialize in addressing specific types of pain. From managing neck pain to alleviating back pain or strengthening the knees, physical therapy exercises play an essential role in recovery and pain relief. Patients can schedule a consultation at Metro Spine Pain Centers in Oxon Hill, Clinton, or Takoma Park, MD to discuss their pain and explore the best next steps for care. Our trusted specialists will provide a comprehensive treatment plan to help you achieve better outcomes.
How Does Physical Therapy Work?
Physical therapy focuses on targeted techniques to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual's needs, depending on the type and severity of pain. For example, physical therapy for neck pain might include exercises to increase strength and flexibility while physical therapy for back pain may incorporate manual therapy and posture correction. Those dealing with knee pain could benefit from a mix of stretching and strengthening exercises aimed at supporting joint stability. Patients do not need a referral to begin physical therapy, though some insurance plans, including Medicare, may require pre-authorization. Metro Spine Pain Centers helps patients navigate these requirements and can assist in verifying coverage to ensure smooth access to care. Insurance often covers most or all costs associated with physical therapy exercises, making it an accessible and effective option for many.
What Are the Benefits of Physical Therapy?
Addressing pain and limited movement can lead to a better quality of life. That's why so many of our patients at Metro Spine Pain Centers turn to physical therapy as part of their overall care plan. With personalized treatment, patients often experience lasting improvements. Benefits of physical therapy for neck pain, back pain, knee pain, and other conditions include:
- Reduced pain without relying on medication
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Strengthened muscles to prevent further injuries
- Better posture and body mechanics
- Enhanced recovery after surgery or injury
- Long-term management of chronic conditions
- Increased independence and ability to perform daily activities
Metro Spine Pain Centers Reviews
The staff is awesome here in Takoma Park, Md. I am already a patient here, but my sister is here now. She had lots of pain after surgery. She was having a difficult time. They helped her with forms everything not making her feel like a burden in the office. Dr Drakes, was step by step getting her necessary things she needs to help her alleviate the pain she is enduring. Always a blessing to me and my sister. Thank you to the Staff and Dr.Drakes.
If it weren’t for Dr. Drake’s treatments—ranging from RFAs, MBBs, and hip injections—I truly believe I wouldn’t have been able to maintain a successful career in the makeup industry for 11 years, until COVID. I suffer from severe back, hip, leg, and arm issues from Degenerative Disk Disease and Neuropathy from chemo due to having Breast Cancer. With his care, he has continued to assist me in maintaining some quality of life as I continue to manage chronic pain.The Pain will never completely go away, but the treatments I’ve received have brought it to a manageable level. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Drake and his staff for the exceptional care and support they’ve provided me over the past 15 years.In addition, I would like to thank Dr. Drake and his staff for their understanding and support. At times, they have served as my therapists, providing me with guidance and compassion during some of the most challenging moments of my life.Karen H
He was very kind and helpful asked alot of questions and made alot of recommendations. Great bedside manner!
The receptionists was nice, the lobby was clean and quiet, Dr Drake and his assistant was very understanding, they listen they seem concerned, wait was a little length but not major.
Every time I go to their office they always treat me with respect.They always treat me like I'm family. And I always get the best medical treatment that I deserve when I go there.
